We really appreciate all the work you do to organise events for LGBT people to celebrate their lives and share their love. We also appreciate our friends and allies all across the world taking part in events. Pride events are evolving into something else than what they were intended to be.

This evolution in part involves sponsorship and advertising. Many for-profit corporations misuse Pride symbology and ideas to sell their products to consumers.

This is not specific to any particular Pride event but many of them seem to have become a big ‘Corporate’ day out.
